Our town was letting people dump stuff for free last week, so Dad and I went to the basement to pillage and plunder on the dumpster's behalf. Among the stuff we threw away were 2 basement brand computers, identical, each with 2.5 GB HD's, 24x CD-ROM drives, 32 MB RAM, and, the best of all, 233 MHz Cyrix x86 Processors (complete with MMX). I salvaged the RAM, the HDD's, and the optical drives, and sometime this week, and since I haven't built a comp in a while, I'll put them into a case with a 200 MHz P2 MMX processor (complete with SoundBlaster Pro 2 sound card). I'm gonna make it a dedicated something, but the question is, what??? I wanna try Linux, and have been thinking about maybe doing a classic gaming machine or a jukebox. Suggestions???
